I'm fortunate to live in sunny Xiamen, where you can pretty much ride outdoors all year round, so I don't have much use for a turbo trainer. But, I also like seeing what new developments there are in the trainer space. So, when Cycplus said they'd send over all their latest gear for me to check out, I took them up on their offer. As I don't really ride any other trainers these days, and I only have a handful of rides on this trainer, this is just my first impressions, and not a full review.

Disclosure & Transparency
Cycplus sent their trainer and fan to me free of charge. No money changed hands, I was not paid to make this video, nor did they control the narrative. The above links and discount codes are affiliate links. Using them will support the channel. This is not to be taken as a full review, as indoor trainers are outside of my area of expertise and time spent with the equipment is too low.

Créé le : 29 mars 2026The reviewer, China Cycling, provides a detailed overview and initial impressions of the CYCPLUS T3 High-Power Smart Bike Trainer. They state it is the top-of-the-line 'Flagship smart trainer' in Cycplus's lineup, emphasizing its high power, compact folding design, and features like virtual shifting and downhill simulation. They tested its power accuracy against Favero Assioma pedals and a Magene power meter, finding it generally within 1-3% accuracy. The reviewer notes it feels responsive on Zwift and provides a good road feel, but mentions it is not the quietest trainer and lacks Wi-Fi connectivity. They conclude it is a 'very very nice tidy trainer' that works well and does everything claimed.
